Dolphins Fall to Chiefs as Running Back Achane Exits with Knee Injury
De'Von Achane hurt his left knee in the first quarter Sunday and was ruled out for the game. The Dolphins lost to Kansas City 24-10, dropping to 0-3.
- Achane gained 11 yards on an outside run before leaving the field.
- 17 rushing yards on three carries was Achane's full stat line Sunday.
- 1,350 rushing yards last season marked Achane's career high.
- Ollie Gordon II replaced Achane, scoring a 3-yard rushing touchdown.
Why it matters: Achane is Miami's top offensive weapon, and losing him long-term would deepen the team's struggles.
- Miami already lacks depth at running back, with Jaylen Wright also out with a foot injury.
